It is not necessary to add milk to the croutons during cooking. Although with it, the dish can become a full-fledged breakfast 2 in 1: an omelet and bread for it. However, without milk, croutons with an egg cook faster, become soft, but not too liquid.

Step 1: prepare the loaf.

So, for starters, we take a white loaf, maybe not the first freshness, put it on a cutting board and cut it across with a sharp kitchen knife into slices a little less than one centimeter thick, although this is a matter of taste, it can be thicker.

Step 2: prepare the milk and egg mixture.

Then, with the back of the knife, beat each chicken egg and drop the whites and yolks into a small bowl. Pour in the required amount of whole pasteurized milk there, add a little salt and shake these products with a table fork or whisk until light splendor. We are not very zealous, we devote no more than 2 minutes to this process, after that we lay out the rest of the products that will be needed to prepare the dish on the countertop, and proceed to the next, almost final step.

Step 3: prepare the croutons with the egg.

We put a large, preferably non-stick frying pan on medium heat and pour a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil into it. While it is warming up, in turn, dip the slices of the loaf in the previously prepared egg-milk mixture and literally after a few minutes very carefully put them in hot fat.

Cook the croutons on both sides for about 1.5-2 minutes until golden-beige-brown. As soon as they are browned, use a kitchen spatula to transfer them to a paper kitchen towel, previously spread on the countertop, and leave them there for a while to absorb excess fat.

We don't waste a minute, we fry the rest in the same way until the food runs out, periodically adding vegetable oil to the pan as needed. Then we transfer the charming slices to a large flat dish and go to taste!

Step 4: serve the croutons with the egg.

Egg toasts are served hot, warm and even cold as an independent light main course or as a very satisfying addition to any other dish. They are pleasant to eat with anything, from cereals from various cereals, boiled pasta, steamed rice, salads, marinades, pickles and ending with meat, fish or poultry.

Bon Appetit!

If you want the croutons to turn out more juicy, leave the slices of the loaf in the egg-milk mixture for a minute;

Very often, instead of whole pasteurized milk, fresh milk is used, only from under a cow, but in this case it is first boiled, cooled and after that mixed with eggs;

If desired, any spices can be added to the egg-milk mixture, for example, all types of ground pepper, dried hyssop, parsley, lemon balm, celery, fennel, garlic granules and many other spices;

To make the croutons more crispy, the pieces of the loaf should be dipped in the egg-milk mixture for just a few seconds, not very long. After that, fry over high heat and be sure to fold not in a pile, but in one layer;

Some housewives cook this dish with butter, butter or margarine, from which the bread acquires a more delicate aftertaste and some special aroma.
